LED Bicycle Spoke Lights

The SpokeLit Bicycle Light Helps Cyclists be Seen at Night

— August 26, 2013 — Lifestyle
Cycling during the night can be a dangerous time to get your daily exercise in, but luckily with the SpokeLit bicycle light, drivers and other riders have a better chance of seeing you bike on the road. Designed with a bright, colored LED light, the SpokeLit goes inside a bicycle's wheels to ensure that you have a safer night ride.

While the SpokeLit may seem like a tiny LED lamp, from the side it makes a big and noticeable impact. The SpokeLit is a round circular LED tube light that fits in directly inside the wheel against the bike's spokes. The LED light can easily be set to a multitude of colors or be set to change simultaneously between the colors of the rainbow. As the biker begins to turn the wheels, the LED light will almost seem to blur and create an endless image of colored circles.
Trend Themes
1. LED Bicycle Spoke Lights - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop customizable LED bicycle spoke lights that can be synced with a smartphone app for changing colors and patterns.
2. Nighttime Cycling Safety - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create a range of safety products specifically designed for nighttime cycling, such as reflective clothing, helmet lights, and GPS tracking devices.
3. Interactive Bicycle Lighting - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Invent interactive bicycle lighting systems that respond to different gestures and movements, enhancing visibility and signaling intentions.
Industry Implications

2. Outdoor Sporting Goods - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate smart technology into outdoor sporting goods, like LED backpacks, illuminated running shoes, and responsive hiking gear.
3. Smart City Solutions - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with cities and urban planners to develop smart city solutions that enhance safety for cyclists, such as smart bike lanes with integrated lighting and sensors, or bike-sharing programs with built-in safety features.
